Service to those who served
Information poster: a photograph of a man in a robe standing on two crutches, with the script headline 'Service to those who served' over a list of twelve benefits from 'INSURANCE' to 'GUARDIANSHIP'. A red band reads 'Consult your nearest office of the Veterans Administration'. The technique is faint; the list of benefits is the main content.
